In this section, we focus on on the conventional task of learning an EBM for high quality synthesis with shortrun sampling. We restrict our attention to achieving high quality synthesis without use of pretrained models, in contrast with works such as [1]}, [2]}. Our method involves hybridizing persistent [3]} and cooperative [4]} initialization. We first briefly cover the strengths and weaknesses of these methods, then discuss our hybridization, and finally present experimental results.
